Sydney 2000 2000 Sports
The Olympic Games are perhaps the most celebrated of all the sporting events in the world. There is something about the entire procession that captures even those not usually interested in athletics. To take such a prestigious event and base a computer game around it is no small task, but ATD felt they were up to the challenge. There is no getting away from it though - Sydney 2000 is simply a "Track and Field" style arcade jaunt, involving the disintegration of your keyboard, and strain of the wrists! However, with the official Olympic sponsorship behind it, we can surely expect...
Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon 2002 Strategy
Disney's Treasure Planet -- the movie, that is -- is a science-fiction twist on Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, Treasure Island. The flick is due out at the end of November, and to coincide with its release, Disney Interactive chose Barking Dog Studios to create a game that captures the feel of the universe. The result, Treasure Planet: Battle for Procyon, is a decent entry-level real-time strategy game, but will probably prove too easy for anyone who's ever played Warcraft or Command & Conquer. Treasure Planet: Battle for Procyon takes place about five years after the events in the movie. The protagonist,...
Army Men: World War 2000 Arcade action
The gaming industry can be puzzling at times. It makes you wonder how titles such as System Shock 2 and Dark Reign struggle for sales, while clearly the Army Men series flourishes. Why else would they be able to create so many games in such a short period of time? I suppose the console market helps support such projects, but you'd think by now gamers would realize that the Army Men series, while charming at first, hasn't improved one bit. It seems like the time span between each Army Men title, since it's initial release in 1998, is becoming shorter...
Putt-Putt and Pep's Dog on a Stick 1996 Arcade action
You guide Pep on a pogo stick through a 3d maze, avoiding hazards like oil spills and traps. The dog collects bones, ice cream cones and candy to gain points. As the game progresses, trampolines appear, changing the path of Pep. The game was designed a junior arcade for 3-8 years old. ...
Scorched Earth 1991 Strategy
The short story: Your goal is to destroy your opponent's tanks by entering the correct power and angle values for shooting your projectiles. You earn money after each round based on your aiming skill, enabling you to buy different shields and weapons. But there's much more to it, and not everything can be mentioned here. You can choose between simultaneous, sequential and synchronous gaming mode, as well as the weather conditions, gravity, etc. But I recommend you leave these, as well as all the other options from the rather abundant set of options as is, for now. You can try...
RoboCop 2003 Arcade action
Most of Robo's games are based around the original side-scrolling Data East arcade game, and accomplish this with varying success. This game, however, marks the only attempt at a first-person-shooter. An FPS based on the cyborg constable seems like such a great idea. Maybe it still is. That could explain why Titus' attempt, even with all the black marks against it, isn't a complete failure. It's unpolished, it's low-budget, it's pretty slow and plodding. The plot is worse than RoboCop 3's. The voice acting is embarrassing. The translation is flawed (let's see the activity on that patient's "brainiagram" again). Yet...
Records of Warrior 1992 Strategy
Records of Warrior is a decent solitaire mahjongg game from prolific Taiwan developer Softworld. The game is a typical match-the-tiles game that many Western gamers recognize from Activision's superb Shanghai series, with a neat twist: set in a fantasy land, you have to travel from one province to another, beating various mahjongg games as you go. Each game has a time limit, which gets shorter the further you progress, thereby gradually increasing the difficulty. You can also use "magic," a special item that helps you out in tight spots. Other than these two 'new' features, Records of Warrior is quite...
King's Quest 6 1994 Amiga
It's been a long time coming, but Sierra have kept faith with their many Amiga tans and produced a marvellous version that fairly zips along. Rumour has it that the Amiga version has been programmed by a Brit here in the UK and good for them too, for realising that there is still a huge audience over here for their products. KQ VI carries on the continuing saga of the first royal family of Daventry King Graham, Queen Valanice and their kids Alexander and Rosella. Newcomers needn't feel left out, as in earlier games the story is completely self contained. In...
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York 1992 Arcade action
Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York is the sequel to Home Alone, two arcade games based on the hit movies of the same name. Home Alone 2 was made by Capstone in 1992. Kevin is lost at the airport and accidentally boards a plane for New York. Two villains from the previous Home Alone game, Harry and Marv, discover Kevin's whereabouts and decide to get their revenge. In each of the four levels you guide Kevin as he runs away from Harry and Marv who are trying to catch him. You avoid the crooks by luring them into...
Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In (a.k.a. Project IGI) 2000 Arcade action
Quite how long the realm of reality can be plundered and stuffed into the first-person shooter genre in various guises is something critics have been pondering over for a while now. The idea of experiencing a game from the eyes of a pre-determined character with a gun strapped to their chin is growing all the more stale, and the quest for originality has been significantly dampened throughout the course of only a couple of years. Of course, there are a few innovators every so often that tend the break the mould and set landmarks for all developers to aspire to;...
